Just saying for me...having the right ski for the conditions makes it a lot easier to be on snow 4 to 5 hours daily, 5days of skiing....OR...just playing on the weekend at our local mountain.

I may not be as gifted as Scott with his skis both physically and technically....so what keeps me having fun, expending less energy, is a ski that works for the conditions.

I agree with Max too...competent ski technique can allow you to ski any gear any time or place...but the performance factor and tiring factor in my mind play a big role in the enjoyment factor.

Having skied all kinds of fat and skinny skis in all kinds of weather, snow, and conditions....I just have to admit....

I must be a gear ****! 

best, g
